Article Overview
This article discusses how CT angiography is distinguished from routine CT postprocessing and why that distinction matters for reporting. It reviews CPT coding context, the role of 2D versus 3D reconstruction, and the way professional guidance has evolved around rendering and reconstruction terminology.
